Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by ThomasNN Not as good as hoped
We were unable to get into our room with our key after check in and only after a wait for security and somewhat lengthy inquiry between security and the front desk and ID checks it was found that we had been directed to the wrong room by the front desk.
The room was spacious and very nice with attractive furnishings. Unfortunately I found too late that the electrical outlet on the desk was not actually working but only realized this the next morning when I went to unplug it and pack up.
The valet parking experience could be improved as no one was out front when we arrived back to the hotel around midnight of our stay and thus had to wait a while for an attendant but then decided to go in and drop keys with the front desk. ...Surprising considering the $50 mandatory parking charge per night.

I used points for this stay with my family over Spring Break. I have wanted to stay here for some time and the Willard did not disappoint! Being a history buff I was mesmerized by the history and grandeur of this iconic hotel. What a surprise to find that the room was extremely roomy; even more so than Crowne Plaza across the river. The beds, decor, amenities and attention to every detail made for a memorable stay. The proximity to the sites and great dining was also a huge bonus. Make sure to go for the buffet breakfast at the in hotel restaurant at least one morning and enjoy an afternoon tea or cappuccino in the pastry shop.
